The wicked will not go unpunished. The judgments of God will fall on the wick. All the Martyrs, who have demanding justice since the beginning will be heard and receive a fair measure of justice and declare the Lord's justice is fair and his exercise of his judgments on the wicked, just. The wicked will experience the punishment and justice of God. Most of the judgment and wrath will not exceed the boundaries of spiritual symbolism enumerated by spiritual laws/promises/and covenants. Suppose, John the Revelator was telling us higher laws of obedience apply for protection against the wrath of God. Protection against destruction is not coincidental. For example, the children of Israel had to smear lambs blood above their doorpost averting death by destroying angel. Next, presuppose that only law can save us from wrath and that compliance to the law provides mercy through the atonement. Second, presuppose that the law creates a spiritual boundary and that the punishments of God do not extend beyond the boundary. Next, assume that the law cannot be compel but must have an entice spirit encouraging saints into the true spirit of worship. The church of Christ will not drive away the weak but hopeful convert them too the sheep. High ranking angels will depart the temple in heaven and bring seven plagues on the wicked; the banners of heaven are terrible in the sight of the wicked; the devil will be cast down into an endless and eternal pity with his sealed followers; at least a part of the judgment will be self inflicted as the wicked destroy the wicked in a nuclear holocaust; the other portions of destruction are cataclysmic in nature as returning earth fragments cause massive geological transformations and an enormous earthquake; the saints will continue to be spared as they gather physically into Zion, the Holy city with its forced exodus will be caused by the arch tyrant, who actively seeks the destruction of the saints; heavenly angels will descend and protect a significant portion of the saints from destruction; resources will be plentiful until political interuptions cause scarcity; almost all commerce will be disrupted by the heavy fighting caused by scarce resources: food, shelter, and money and this disruption will affect agricultural production. One thing that is perfect clear from Revelations is that God will bring retribution too the devil servants and as a result, he is currently calling the wicked servants to repent and stop hating him and cease from their works of unrighteousness. Christ can save someof them from destruction. The war of in heavan may extend to such a degree that even the enemies may be convinced to follow Jesus and cease from rebellion and abandon accusation. Hence the power of reason and the convincing power of God's reasoning. John the revelator testifies that Christ was resurrected; Christ is the judge and lawgiver for this world; Christ atoned and suffered for our sins; and Christ provides the gift of immortalit
